A rain check is a small piece of paper. When can you get a rain check? Well, if you are going to a ball game or some other open-air activity and it is called off because of rain or some other reason, you may receive a rain check. With it you may go there again without paying.You may also receive a rain check at a shop. As you know, sometimes when you go to a shop to buy something which is on sale, it is sold out. You may ask the assistant to give you a rain check and with it you can go again next time to buy what you need at the sale price.Here’s another way to use this word. If someone invites you to go somewhere, you would like to go very much but cannot, you may say “May I have a rain check?” This means, “I will come next time.” But you can never say “May I take a rain check?” when your teacher gives you some homework.True or False (判断下列句子是否符合短文,符合的用“T”表示,不符合的用“F”表示):( ) 1. A rain check is a piece of paper with weather report on it.( ) 2. When a ball game is called off because of rain, we can get a rain check.( ) 3. We can also get a rain check at a shop.( ) 4. We can buy something we need without paying with a rain check.( ) 5. Sometimes a rain check means“I will come next time.”( ) 6. Teachers will be glad to give their students a rain check when they ask them to do some homeworkB. Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)People often say, “Y ou can change anything but the weather.” Once this was true. But today, weather can be changed in some ways.Men in airplanes drop special chemicals on clouds. This is called “seeding” the clouds. Clouds have been seeded to bring rain where crops need it. Clouds have been seeded before it reaches a place where it is not needed!Scientists have seeded clouds to try to break up(结束) thunderstorms (雷暴雨)and stop lightning. Hurricane winds (飓风)blow 100 miles an hour or more. But the mid dle part, or “eye”, of the hurricane is quiet, with little or no wind. In 1963, scientists sent an airplane to drop special chemicals into the eye of a hurricane. The chemicals hit cold drops of water in the clouds around the eye. When this happened, heat was given off(散发). The heat slowed down the hurricane.We still cannot completely control our weather. But some day we may have weather just the way we want it.( ) 1. The word in the story that means the quiet, central part of a hurricane is ___________.A. windB. “eye”C. seedingD. cloud( ) 2.

Courage is when you've lost your way, but you find your strength anyway ...” This song, “Courage”, by the singer Orianthi, is one of the songs that I listen to 25 I feel depressed.Courage is one thing I wish I could possess when I want to stand up and speak my mind. There are times when I find myself afraid to speak up for 26 . There are times when I give up so easily just because I'm afraid to fail. The absence of courage is a serious problem for me.Since noticing this problem, I 27 (try) some ways to make some changes. First, I talk to my friends about my feelings more often, and we discuss my dream about 28 I want and where I want to go in the future. To be honest, my heart still pounds so hard every time before I go on the stage 29 I have to take deep breaths so many times, but I'm getting better at it.Finally, I wish I could succeed in having the courage to speak out loud about my future dream and in having the courage to tell myself to keep moving 30 the fear for failure.“It's not how many times you 31 (knock) down; it's how many times you get backup…”(B)Americans and Arabs are different 33 it comes to their space habits.

They hold his hand, look into his eyes, and bathe him in their breath.Dr. Hall's interest in man's use of space developed in the early nineteen fifties when he was Director of the Point Four training programme at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of 35 had been highly uncomfortable 36 of culture difference. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in 37 noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage(清教徒文化遗产). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years 38 (teach) our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations 39 we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact 40 (involve), tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.There are many fossil fuel alternatives on the market and some yet 41 , but there are things to be considered with all of them. One such fuel is called bio-diesel(生物柴油) that is 42 available on the market and is under 43 examinations on whether it is a better alternative than petroleum. As far as the other earth friendly choices go about, bio-diesel seems like a more earth friendly choice. But, understanding the difference between bio-diesel and petroleum or 44 diesel is essential. We're going to take some time to cover both of these options.Bio-diesel is an earth friendly option because it comes from many of the natural sources of the earth. But, regular diesel is obtained from oil that is 45 up from the ground. Bio-diesel comes from the oils in animal fat and various vegetable oils. The biggest advantage that bio-diesel currently has is that the basic 46 for using this type of fuel option is already here. Bio-diesel can run in regular diesel engines. With this great 47 you can recycle animal fat and the vegetable oil that is used to make your fries at McDonald's instead of just throwing it back into the ground. It will save you money and 48 things that are normally thrown out.More and more people across the country are speaking out about the advantages ofbio-diesel. Many urban areas now have their public 49 using the new bio-diesel fuel for buses and taxies. Many trains that are being used by Amtrak are now using bio-diesel. All these little factors help reduces the need and 50 on foreign oil to run your transportation needs.IV.Cloze (15 points)Targeted college campus violence, from serious attacks to the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007, is up sharply over the last two decades. The number of cases 51 from 40 during the 1980s to 79 in the 1990s and 83 since 2000, says a study 52 Friday by the FBI, Secret Service and Education Department. Violence on or near college campuses is 53 new. The report cited, 54 , a murder-suicide in 1909.Targeted violence is defined as cases where attackers select a victim in advance or 55 choose victims because they fit some predetermined description or relationship. It 56 violence that breaks out instinctively, such as during an argument.The study found that:✧Factors relating to a close relationship were a motivating or triggering factor in a thirdof attacks and academic 57 or failure was a factor in one out of 10 attacks.✧Sixty percent of those who engaged in targeted campus violence were 58 orformer students at the school where the violence took place.✧Firearms were used in more than half the incidents and knives or weapons with acutting edge were used in over 20 percent.✧Over 90 percent of those who 59 such attacks were male.In nearly three-quarters of the incidents studied, the attacker appeared to have 60 one or more specifically named individuals. But sometimes it appeared that random people were targeted along with 61 victims.Understanding what motivates an attacker to go solely after random victims "remains a complex and difficult 62 ," the report said.The report is an initial step in gaining a better 63 of targeted campus violence. The research is expected to help threat assessment teams 64 professionals from a wide range of campus departments. The teams created in the aftereffect of the Virginia Tech killings identify individuals whose behaviour causes 65 or is disruptive and assess whether the person has the intent or ability to carry out an attack.51.

I am a countryman; I am a worker; I am a teacher; I am a unique form of Qinghua student. But focusing on the man that I am is not as important as seizing my fate and becoming the man I will be. However, with my life as it is, this isn't easy, so I must struggle. --- Zhang Liyong Once published, Zhang Liyong's book “The Cook with Fluent English” immediately caught the public's eye. Telling the true experiences of a common man, this book has encouraged and stimulated many English-learners.Born the eldest son of a poor family in Jiangxi Province, Zhang quit school early in order to help out his family. His first job was a worker in a toy factory in Guangzhou, where his experiences made him see the English language in a new light. He found out how important English was in communicating with foreigners. Always under an intense workload, and with poor housing conditions, he felt no sense of belonging during those days in Guangzhou. So, with the realization that learning English was the only way to better him lot in life, and a ticket to step onto the campus of Qinghua University as well. He began to pursue the life he wanted. It was this move to become a student again that surrounded Zhang with the environment necessary for his success in English.After reading “The Cook with Fluent English”, Daisy Dai, whose major is English language and literature, comments, “First of all, I think his university was quite helpful for him to study English, because there are a lot of resources available on campus. Also, I believe that his passion for studying English should be encouraged. Because he was working full-time as a cook, he must have studied English in his spare time. Now that time for intensive study, like in schools or in universities is quite limited, we all have to form the habit of teaching ourselves. I think we should learn by his example.”66. In his book Zhang Liyong stated that .A. Qinghua University is the best place for English studiesB. seizing his future is more importantD. he must struggle to be a wealthy man67. During the days in Guangzhou, Zhang .A. quit school to help out his familyB. started to learn English by himselfC. began to realize the importance of EnglishD. showed great interest in communicating with foreigners69.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Daisy Dai as the reasons why Zhang succeedsin studying English?A. He has developed the habit of self-study.B. He is passionate for studying English.C. He is talented in studying English.D. He made full use of campus resources.70.The underlined word “intense” (paragraph 3) refers to "".A. involving extreme effortsB. concerning great detailsC. long-lastingD. giving strength to(B)Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up. But it is not good to escape from problems for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities. If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. The n see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness.In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attackFor example, a boy wanted to be a debater. When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless. He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture was poor. Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change either the tactics or the goal.A boy who wants to be a great football player may be too light and not quite fast enough for football. In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him. However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports.A girl who has plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.71. If you are unhappy about something, the author thinks .A. you should give it upB. you should escape from itC. you should face itD. you should make excuses72. In the third paragraph, we can learn that the boy achieved his goal because .A. he made a direct attack upon his problem.B. he was shy.C. he had a high-pitched voice.D. his posture was poor.73. A girl who has plain features wants to win popularity. She should .A. become outstanding in golfB. depend on her faceC.try to develop an interesting personalityD. become outstanding in tennis74. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Those who escape from problems will never succeed.B. The best way to deal with problems is to attack directly.C. There is always a solution to the problem you meet with.D. It is necessary to change our goals sometimes to succeed.VI.Translation (11 points)79. 无视规则是不划算的,因为你可能找不到合作伙伴。

Ifs about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide at its broadest point, and it‘s joined to the mainland by a causeway (21)__________ (call) Stand—a narrow road built across the mouth of the river (22)__________ separates us from the rest of the country. Most of the time you wouldn‘t know we‘re on an island because the river mouth between us and the mainland is just a vast stretch of tall grasses and brown mud. But when there‘s a high tide and the water rises a half meter or so above the road and nothing can pass (23)__________ the tide goes out again a few hours later, then you know it‘s an island.We were on our way back (24)__________ the mainland. My old brother, Dominic, had just finished his first year at university in a town 150 km away. Dominic‘s train was due in at five and he‘d asked for a lift back from the station.

What‘s wrong with the bus?—I could tell by the flash in the eyes that he was really looking forward to (26)__________ (see) Dominic.So, anyway, Dad and I had driven to the mainland and picked up Dominic from the station. He had been talking non-stop from the moment he‘d got in the car. University this, university that, writers, books, parties, people, money…I didn‘t like the way he spoke and waved his hands around (27)__________ __________he was some kind of scholar or something. It was embarrassing. It made me feel uncomfortable—that kind of discomfort you feel when someone you like, someone close to you, sudden ly starts acting like a complete idiot.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on developing stronger science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum(课程) and programs, as these disciplines are widely ___31___ as the means to help innovation and support national economies.This trend reflects a shift in how school disciplines are being looked at; schools are ___32___ on subjects that have traditionally been isolated from each other —science, mathematics, and art—in favor of deeper, interdisciplinary learning. K-12 education leaders are pioneering new methods for combining the arts with STEM activities, ___33___the ways in which subjects naturally connect in the real world. While this new movement is being discussed almost clearly and directly in an education context, its roots are planted across nearly every industry. In many ways, technology is the connective tissue. Similarly, engineering new transportation technologies requires artful design. The growing ___34___ of the important unions between different skills is paving the way for STEAM in schools.Some doubts of this movement have dismissed the ___35___ as a mere fashion driven by artists who are concerned their profession is losing critical support in an increasingly technology-focused society. However, the Hilburn Academy argues that STEAM is not just a contemporary program of learning, but an important life philosophy—___36___ for higher education and career success. Schools should provide students plentiful opportunities to ___37___ the complexities and complicated layers that include content knowledge. Early examples of STEAM learning include teaching students how mathematical concepts such as geometry(几何学) are rooted in artworks.While the rise of STEAM learning is relatively new, there are already figures that prove that the integration of these seemingly ___38___ disciplines is supporting student performance at school. A study conducted by the University of Florida ___39___ that students who are engaged in music class do better in math. For example, female high school students enrolled in a music appreciation class scored 42 points higher on the math section of their SATs. Formal experience with the arts is proven to cultivate innovative thinking, adaptability, and other problem-solving skills that are necessary for mastering STEM abilities. In other words, ___40___is a pioneer for students to understand, use, and apply technologies in new ways.崇明Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental HealthMilitary service is obviously rough on a service member‘s mental health. According to some 31_________, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four monthsof returning home after leaving the army.The military is spending more money than ever to 32_________mental health issues within the ranks, and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33_________ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy, medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app isn‘t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35_________record of a service member‘s mental health.Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate results on the36_________conditions of service members who have returned home. ―Therapists and physicians often have to rely on patient 37_________when trying to gather information about symptoms over the previous weeks or months,‖ Bosmajian said. ―Resear ch has shown that information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of an experience is when it‘s recorded at the time and place it happens.‖The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的)stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39_______ that can be observed by physicians and therapists.The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40_______ on the Android Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be __31____, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also showstubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attemptsmay be made to fill every 32_______ with conversation. Persons in other culturalgroups value silence and view itas necessary for understanding a person‘s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 33_______ among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 34________ is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for 35_______.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 36________ among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 37_______ between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an eldder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 38________ meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient‘s silence is not 39___________ too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 40_________ of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.完型填空宝山Anxiety disorders —defined by extreme fear, restlessness, and muscle tension —are carefully considering, disabling, and can increase the risk for ___41___ and self-murder.

Young people with anxiety are also less likely to enter school and complete it ——leading to fewer life ___44___. Even though this evidence points to anxiety disorders as being important mental health issues, insufficient ___45___ is being given to them by researchers, clinicians, andpolicy makers.My team and I at the University of Cambridge wanted to find out who is most affected by anxiety disorders.To do this, we conducted a systematic ___46___ of studies that reported on the proportion of people with anxiety in a variety of contexts around the world, and used accurate methods to keep the highest quality studies.Our results showed women are almost twice as likely to ___47___ anxiety as men, and people living in Europe and North America are disproportionately affected.So why are women more ___48___?It could be because of differences in brain chemistry and hormone(荷尔蒙) variations. Reproductive events across a woman‘s life are ___49___ with hormonal changes, which have been linked to anxiety. The rise in oestrogen (雌激素) that occurs during pregnancy can ___50___ the risk for uncontrollable disorder.This is ___51___ by disturbing and repetitive thoughts, impulses and addictions that are upsetting and less effective. But in addition to biological mechanisms, women and men seem to experience and react to events in their life ___52___. Women tend to be more likely to stress, which can increase their anxiety. Also, when faced with stressful situations, women and men tend to use different coping ___53___. Women faced with life stressors are more likely to think about them seriously, which can increase their anxiety, ___54___ men engage more in active, problem-focused coping.Other studies suggest that women are more likely to ___55___ physical and mental mistreatment than men, and this behavior has been linked to the development of anxiety disorders.41.

Why they feel this way is 41________, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag.The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞)42________ crossing timezones. These cells in our brains 43 ________our biological clocks. However,the cells don‘t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44________ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it‘s 45________ for us to extend the length of a day—for example, by flying west across time zones—than to shorten the day, by flying east.The scientists found that for 46________ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully47________in a littleless than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days.However, when a person tra vels eastward, the recovery time doesn‘t match up as 48________. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49________ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days.Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50________ , it variesfrom person to person. The other factor to consider is 51________ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 52________how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone.The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to 53________ jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 ________the new time zone. That means that if it‘s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it‘s nighttime, avoid artificial 55________, including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust.41. A. incredible B. apparent C. surprising D. unclear42.

Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding 42_______ sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to 43_________.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be 44_______ but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers‘45_______ to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand‘s46_______ as the quality of itswindow displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very 47_____ experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the ___48_____for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants‘ ____49___ attitude and don‘t-touch-what-you-can‘t-afford displays. Now the 50________ of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers 51_______ through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a(n) 52_________.

(67)__________Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot‘s particular skills and benefits.―As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)w orkers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won‘t steal job opportunities. (68)__________‖De Momi explains.To conduct their experiment De Momi‘s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar.(69)__________These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were ―biologically inspired,‖ w hich would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi‘s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms.(70)__________De Momi‘s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.崇明区Tutoring a New NormalIt‘s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. ―I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It‘s costly,‖ says Pet, a mother in Canada.However, she adds, ―after finding out half my daughter‘s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.‖Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. ―When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always shouting. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for o ne entire hour and could get most of their homework done.‖Tutoring isn‘t simply a private school phenomenon. 67________In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. 68________As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.69________ ―A lot of parents just do n‘t have time to help their children with homework,‖ says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. ―Others couldn‘t help their children after Grade 3.‖There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. ―Children used to get bullied(欺侮)for having a tutor,‖Diamond says. ―Now it‘s becoming the norm to have one.‖70________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child‘s classmates have tutors. ―For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need,‖ she says. Still, she‘s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.奉贤区No matter how early she went to bed, Maggie couldn't fall asleep until the early hours. Though constantly exhausted, Maggie got good grades in school, but she often got in trouble for napping during her morning classes.After graduating from college, Maggie realized her dream of becoming a teacher. However, waking up for her 8:30 a.m. classes turned her into a zombie (无生气的人) , and she lost her jobbecause she lacked enthusiasm.Maggie isn‘t lazy. She suffers from delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS,睡眠相位后移症候群)—a disorder that affects one in 750 adults that causes them to be somewhat nocturnal (夜间活动的). DSPS is often confused with insomnia(失眠),perhaps because sufferers seem tired duringthe day. However, the two disorders are very different. Insomniacs have trouble with the process offalling asleep. 67__________ They just can‘t fall asleep early even if they want to.Essentially, DSPS means a person's internal clock is set differently.68____________ As a result,they're out of sync(同步)with the rest of society. People with DSPS struggle to keep their eyes open during morning meetings because their bodies are convinced it‘s the middle of the night. They seem less efficient and creative at the office, and make more workplace accidents. DSPS also damages their health, causing depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other illnesses due to sleep deprivation.69_________ Fortunately, that‘s not the case. Flex ible work schedules are already verycommon. Traditionally, managers tend to think more people in the office equals more output, but new research shows that people who work flexible hours are more productive and more likely to stay with their company because they are happier and healthier. Thanks to these findings, many European countries have passed laws giving every worker the right to apply for a flexible work arrangement. According to Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University, most U.K. employees will be working half from home in five years.This is great news not just for DSPS sufferers but also for their companies. 70_________ Consequently, they will be able to save a large sum of money.Summary Writing宝山区A good story encourages us to turn the next page and read more. We want to find out what happens next and what the main characters do and what they say to each other. We may feel excited, sad, afraid, angry or really happy. This is because the experience of reading or listening to a story is much more likely to make us ‗feel‘ that we are part of the story, too. Just like in our ‗real‘ lives, we might love or hate different characters in the story. Perhaps we recognize ourselves or others in some of them. Perhaps we have similar problems.Because of this natural sympathy for the characters, our brains process the reading of stories differently from the way we read factual information. Our brains don‘t always recognize the difference between an imagined situa tion and a real one so the characters become ‗alive‘ to us. What they say and do is therefore more meaningful. This is why the words and structures that relate a story‘s events, descriptions and conversations are processed in this deeper way.In fact, cultures all around the world have always used storytelling to pass knowledge from one generation to another. Our ancestors understood very well that this was the best way to make sure our histories and information about how to relate to others and to our world was not only understood, but remembered too.。

Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each wordMaking a Mistake Can Put Your Brain ON “Pause”Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in.When facing fast decisions, even the _____31___distraction of noting an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.“We have a brain region that monitors and says …you messed up‟so that we can correct our behavior,”says psychologist George Buzzell, now at the University of Maryland in College Park. But sometimes, that monitoring system can backfire, _____32___us from the task at hand and causing us to make another error.“There does seem to be a little bit of time f or people, after mistakes, where you‟re sort of ___33___,” says Jason Moser,a psychologist at Michigan State University, who wasn‟t part of the study.To test people‟s ____34__ to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfa x, Va., monitored 23 participants‟ brain activity while they worked through a challenging task. Concentric(同轴的) circles ___35_____briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same color and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy ____36_____by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recorded from the ____37__cortex(大脑皮层)showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded ____38_____.The cognitive demand of noting and ____39___the error seems to divert attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.In real life,people usually have time ——even if just a few seconds ——to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activitiessuch as driving a car or playing musical instrument, people must rebound from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the ___40____of error processing.。

The ability to overcome obstacles is a highly regarded value in American culture. Many believe it shows that a person is strong and willing to work hard to achieve goals. Yet some people are shy about discussing personal ____41_ . In some cultures, it may even be seen as a sign of weakness to 42 difficulties.One place where you may be asked to 43 a personal obstacle is on a college application essay. On one part of the application, students list the facts: academic grades, awards and 44 in sports, teams, clubs and organizations. In the essay section, students have an opportunity to present their 45_ . This gives an admission committee a chance to know what makes students 46 : what drives their passions, fires their intellect and makes them ____47____ and different from everyone else.When students write their college essays, they usually have to respond to a__ 48 question ina personal way. Successful essays often tell about experiences, such as overcoming obstacles, that have49 the writers or made them grow in some important way. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the topic__50 __ in their own style. This could include using stories, dialogues, humor or image.Think of an ordinary college classroom today: a vast classroom where a professor gives a long____1____. Three weeks later, students remember only a tenth of what they have learned. This is not the way to produce the next generation of creative____2____.However, in 20 years, a team of experts from different fields will ____3____ our professors. Students will meet real-life challenges. Instead of sitting ___4_____ in a big hall to be tutored(辅导), students are expected to cooperate with each other, where future doctors, lawyers and artists try to work together to solve problems or to create something.Fortunately, such a future classroom is not only a ____5____. A company named Embrace has started a challenge project at Stanford. Within a certain period of time, students have to work ___6____with fellow classmates to achieve a certain goal, sometimes to design a business plan or to work out a product advertisement. During the process, every student is taking an ____7___part in the project. Sometimes they even ____8___over details. And when the action plan is agreed on, every student is devoted to the program. As for the effect of the project, most participants admit that the project is a(n) ___9____learning experience they can’t get in a(n) ____10____classroom. And the hands-on knowledge they have learned from the project will greatly do good to their future work.Back in the last century self-study used to mean trying to learn from books. Then as technology moved on, electric products_41__the way people learn a language. Audio cassettes enabled people to practice listening, video provided a vivid cultural environment of the language, computers made interactivity possible, and the _42___ of the Windows 95 operating system opened the door to full multimedia programs that could offer more than what the traditional materials could do.Today technology has moved on__43__. The Internet has served as a communication centre. The general use of email has_44__new opportunities for teachers to assist learning at a distance, which has an impact on_45___learning structures. As you can make more and more progress on your own, the role of the teacher is changing. Basic information and drill can be provided by computer; the teacher is then free to concentrate on the more important__46___: motivation and production of the language in speech or writing.The latest development is a direct email link from self-study CD-ROMs to an online teacher. Now you can get_47___ one-to-one tuition from any multimedia PC with an internet connection.When you need more help you__48__ email the tutor. The tutor will know which course you are following and your results to date so he is able to provide good, relevant advice.

So the self-study becomes distance learning with all its advantages of flexibility and low ____50____.Government statistics recently revealed that in the UK more than 3000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number are electrocuted(使触电死亡)after 41 _____with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are 42______ fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such 43_____ .If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch them! If they are still holding the appliance that has given them the shock (eg. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the ___44____at its source. Under no circumstances should you try to move the appliance with your hand!If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood like a broom handle or a chair to 45 _______the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.The victim must remain lying down. If they are 46_______, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine(脊椎骨) injuries unless it is 47 ___necessary.It is essential to 48______ the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, 49_____ mouth-to-mouth resuscitation 复生. Keep the victims head low until professional help arrives.If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the 50______ to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.There are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t _41_.Then just want to see how you handle a difficult situation.“Why should we choose you?” To this question ,you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to_42_, how you would handle this job, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can _43_ your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief _44_ of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When as ked “What are your weaknesses?”, don’t say “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weaknesses, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something _45_ but not hugely important to the specific position, and always add something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of _46_ to the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more _47_ in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize(定制) your answer to meet the position _48_. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they would be applied to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “why, where, when, how” to _49 your strengths.Always follow-up with a thank you note restating your interest in the position. If you interview with multiple people, send each one a thank you note.Going on a date can be a fearful experience for most of us. But now a pair of “social X-Ray” glasses 41 to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking—and when you should stop talking.The glasses have a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses’ frame and connected with a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the user’s body. The camera __42 the other person’s facial expressions and 43 them up with 24 known features which convey 44 . How long and how often 24 “feature points” appear on the subject’s face are then analyzed by software developed by a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer through an earpiece(耳机) and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means 45 , yellow means they are a little 46 and green means your date is happy.The glasses are currently under development by researchers at MIT’s Media Lab. They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an “___47___ sense”.The glasses were developed for people suffering from autism(自闭症) who have genuine 48__ interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider 49 .So far the glasses are still a work in progress and have been 50 just 64 percent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.When Michael Wong was young, he was sensitive and shy. It was a huge task for him to talk to a stranger or go downstairs to the shops. But he found ___41___ through playing the piano.Recently, the Malaysian piano star __42___ his latest album Never Apart.

Never Apart tells the story of a couple who are __43___ to separate for a while, but they still cherish (珍藏) the beautiful memories they had “Music sounds better when it ___44___ to true feelings,” he says.Now, Michael has grown up to be one of the most popular singers in Taiwan. His slow love songs including First Time and Fairytale are hits(风靡一时的事物) with heartbroken young people.Over the years, he has become bolder and learnt to voice ___45___ in his music. Once, he was asked to sing a song someone else wrote. But he didn’t like the song lyrics(歌词), so he ___46___ they should be changed. “If I broke up with someone, I don’t think I would have reacted in the same way as the story in the song,” he said. “I want to tell people ___47___ how I will behave.” And it works. He says the song sounds better when he can sing it his own way.Michael is often called the piano prince. He’s ___48___ when he plays and sings along. “When I play, inspirations rush to me like continuous streams. It ___49__ no effort.” But he still works hard to make his songs ____50____. “I’ll go over every tiny detail to make the song worth listening to.”Antarctica is the highest, driest and coldest place on Earth. It is also the remotest, a fact which accounts for its unspoiled environment. It is widely described as the last 41 ____on our planet. The cold climate is 42__ for maintaining the continent’s year-round ice fields. Even though Antarctica receives more sunlight than the equator (赤道), the temperatures are lower because the ice sheet 43 the heat back into space.For centuries, Europeans wondered about the 44 of a South-Polar continent, but no one actually knew for certain Antarctica was there until 1820 when European explorers “discovered”it. Since then, men have gone to Antarctica in search of 45 . Testing their abilities, several teams of explorers set out in 1911 to be the first men to stand at the South Pole.Once completely 46 , Antarctica has more recently been playing host to adventurers seeking for excitement, scientists interested in experimenting, and companies looking to 47 this wild area for profit.Yet, Antarctica’s fragile and complicated eco-system is ____48____ by its human visitors. Damage to the environment occurs as people come looking for resources beneath the ice, or 49 leave their garbage behind. Currently, countries are working to ensure that the damage to Antarctica’s environment is50 ,and that Antarctica will remain an unspoiled place.When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their ___1__ developed senses. Drops in air ____2___ produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather ____3____. People who spend a lot of time___4____ have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of the pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(急躁的)and ___5____ and will fight over a price of bread. Other birds chirp(叽叽喳喳)and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another ___6___ for an hour on two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds ____7___in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the ___8____ in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.By paying ____9____ attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better ___10____ for different kinds of weather.More recent research has shown that many kinds of amphibians(两栖动物) are declining or have become extinct. Amphibians are animals, such as frogs, that live partly in water and partly on land. And they have been around for over 350 million years. They have ___41___ three mass extinctions, including the extinction of the dinosaurs. Why are they dying out now?The most serious aspect of amphibian loss, however, goes beyond the amphibians themselves. Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian ___42___ means for the planet as a whole. If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians, is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors. One of these factors is the ___43___ of habitat, the natural area where an animal lives. Amphibians are very ___44___ to changes in their habitat. If they cannot find the right conditions, they will not lay their eggs.These days, as wild areas are ___45____ with houses, roads, farms, or factories, many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them. In many industrial areas, air pollution has ___46__ the rain, which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs that live there. In farming areas, the heavy use of ___47___ on crops has also killed off amphibians. Another factor is that air pollution has led to ___48___ levels of ultraviolet (UV)light. This endangers amphibians, which seem to be ___49___ sensitive to UV light. All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general ___50___ . These factors affect human beings, too.。

University this, university that, writers, books, parties, people, money…I didn‘t like the way he spoke and waved his hands around (27)__________ __________he was some kind of scholar or something. It was embarrassing. It made me feel uncomfortable—that kind of discomfort you feel when someone you like, someone close to you, sudden ly starts acting like a complete idiot. And I didn‘t like the way he was ignoring me, either. For all the attention I was getting I (28)__________ as well not have been there. I felt a stranger in my own car.We were about halfway across when I saw a boy. My first thought was how odd it was (29)__________ (see) someone walking on the Stand.

However, it is also critical that committed action each day (27) ___________ (build) to help you keep going when obstacles arise or when you just don't feel like you have the interest or energy to stay (28)___________(focus).Preparation also means that you have a plan or a goal that shows you what steps or actions to take, when to lake them and what to do if issues, obstacles or (29)________life issues get in the way.(30)_________bottom line is actually quite clear: You arc either willing, able and committed toachieve what you want, or you are simply dreaming or wishing that success find you.选词填空(宝山)Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on developing stronger science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum(课程) and programs, as these disciplines are widely ___31___ as the means to help innovation and support national economies.This trend reflects a shift in how school disciplines are being looked at; schools are ___32___ on subjects that have traditionally been isolated from each other —science, mathematics, and art—in favor of deeper, interdisciplinary learning. K-12 education leaders are pioneering new methods for combining the arts with STEM activities, ___33___the ways in which subjects naturally connect in the real world. While this new movement is being discussed almost clearly and directly in an education context, its roots are planted across nearly every industry. In many ways, technology is the connective tissue. Similarly, engineering new transportation technologies requires artful design. The growing ___34___ of the important unions between different skills is paving the way for STEAM in schools.Some doubts of this movement have dismissed the ___35___ as a mere fashion driven by artists who are concerned their profession is losing critical support in an increasingly technology-focused society. However, the Hilburn Academy argues that STEAM is not just a contemporary program of learning, but an important life philosophy—___36___ for higher education and career success. Schools should provide students plentiful opportunities to ___37___ the complexities and complicated layers that include content knowledge. Early examples of STEAM learning include teaching students how mathematical concepts such as geometry(几何学) are rooted in artworks.While the rise of STEAM learning is relatively new, there are already figures that prove that the integration of these seemingly ___38___ disciplines is supporting student performance at school. A study conducted by the University of Florida ___39___ that students who are engaged in music class do better in math. For example, female high school students enrolled in a music appreciation class scored 42 points higher on the math section of their SATs. Formal experience with the arts is proven to cultivate innovative thinking, adaptability, and other problem-solving skills that are necessary for mastering STEM abilities. In other words, ___40___is a pioneer for students to understand, use, and apply technologies in new ways.崇明Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental HealthMilitary service is obviously rough on a service member‘s mental health. According to some 31_________, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four monthsof returning home after leaving the army.The military is spending more money than ever to 32_________mental health issues within the ranks, and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33_________ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy, medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app isn‘t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35_________record of a service member‘s mental health.Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate results on the36_________conditions of service members who have returned home. ―Therapists and physicians often have to rely on patient 37_________when trying to gather information about symptoms over the previous weeks or months,‖ Bosmajian said. ―Resear ch has shown that information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of an experience is when it‘s recorded at the time and place it happens.‖The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的)stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39_______ that can be observed by physicians and therapists.The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40_______ on the Android Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be __31____, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also showstubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attemptsmay be made to fill every 32_______ with conversation. Persons in other culturalgroups value silence and view itas necessary for understanding a person‘s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 33_______ among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 34________ is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for 35_______.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 36________ among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 37_______ between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an eldder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 38________ meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient‘s silence is not 39___________ too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 40_________ of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.完型填空宝山Anxiety disorders —defined by extreme fear, restlessness, and muscle tension —are carefully considering, disabling, and can increase the risk for ___41___ and self-murder. They are some of the most common mental health conditions around the world, ___42___ around four out of every 100 people and costing the health care system and job employers over US$42 billion each year.People with anxiety are more likely to miss days from work and are less ___43___. Young people with anxiety are also less likely to enter school and complete it ——leading to fewer life ___44___. Even though this evidence points to anxiety disorders as being important mental health issues, insufficient ___45___ is being given to them by researchers, clinicians, andpolicy makers.My team and I at the University of Cambridge wanted to find out who is most affected by anxiety disorders.To do this, we conducted a systematic ___46___ of studies that reported on the proportion of people with anxiety in a variety of contexts around the world, and used accurate methods to keep the highest quality studies.Our results showed women are almost twice as likely to ___47___ anxiety as men, and people living in Europe and North America are disproportionately affected.So why are women more ___48___?It could be because of differences in brain chemistry and hormone(荷尔蒙) variations. Reproductive events across a woman‘s life are ___49___ with hormonal changes, which have been linked to anxiety. The rise in oestrogen (雌激素) that occurs during pregnancy can ___50___ the risk for uncontrollable disorder.This is ___51___ by disturbing and repetitive thoughts, impulses and addictions that are upsetting and less effective. But in addition to biological mechanisms, women and men seem to experience and react to events in their life ___52___. Women tend to be more likely to stress, which can increase their anxiety. Also, when faced with stressful situations, women and men tend to use different coping ___53___. Women faced with life stressors are more likely to think about them seriously, which can increase their anxiety, ___54___ men engage more in active, problem-focused coping.Other studies suggest that women are more likely to ___55___ physical and mental mistreatment than men, and this behavior has been linked to the development of anxiety disorders.41.

Why they feel this way is 41________, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag.The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞)42________ crossing timezones. These cells in our brains 43 ________our biological clocks. However,the cells don‘t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44________ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it‘s 45________ for us to extend the length of a day—for example, by flying west across time zones—than to shorten the day, by flying east.The scientists found that for 46________ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully47________in a littleless than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days.However, when a person tra vels eastward, the recovery time doesn‘t match up as 48________. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49________ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days.Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50________ , it variesfrom person to person. The other factor to consider is 51________ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 52________how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone.The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to 53________ jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 ________the new time zone. That means that if it‘s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it‘s nighttime, avoid artificial 55________, including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust.41. A. incredible B. apparent C. surprising D. unclear42.

Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding 42_______ sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to 43_________.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be 44_______ but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers‘45_______ to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand‘s46_______ as the quality of itswindow displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very 47_____ experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the ___48_____for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants‘ ____49___ attitude and don‘t-touch-what-you-can‘t-afford displays. Now the 50________ of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers 51_______ through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a(n) 52_________. And scent is just one way to53______ this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder 54_______ through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store‘s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, 55________their perfect scent.41.A. engaged B. delivered C. displayed D. located42.A. connected with B. compared with C. combined with D. came up with43.A. purchase B. wander C. appreciate D. identify44.A. instructiveB.attractive C. expensive D. informative45.A. expressionB.demand C. intention D. attention46.A. profession B. project C. relation D. success47.

(67)__________Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot‘s particular skills and benefits.―As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)w orkers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won‘t steal job opportunities. (68)__________‖De Momi explains.To conduct their experiment De Momi‘s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar.(69)__________These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were ―biologically inspired,‖ w hich would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi‘s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms.(70)__________De Momi‘s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.崇明区Tutoring a New NormalIt‘s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. ―I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It‘s costly,‖ says Pet, a mother in Canada.However, she adds, ―after finding out half my daughter‘s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.‖Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. ―When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always shouting. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for o ne entire hour and could get most of their homework done.‖Tutoring isn‘t simply a private school phenomenon. 67________In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. 68________As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.69________ ―A lot of parents just do n‘t have time to help their children with homework,‖ says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. ―Others couldn‘t help their children after Grade 3.‖There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. ―Children used to get bullied(欺侮)for having a tutor,‖Diamond says. ―Now it‘s becoming the norm to have one.‖70________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child‘s classmates have tutors. ―For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need,‖ she says. Still, she‘s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.奉贤区No matter how early she went to bed, Maggie couldn't fall asleep until the early hours. Though constantly exhausted, Maggie got good grades in school, but she often got in trouble for napping during her morning classes.After graduating from college, Maggie realized her dream of becoming a teacher. However, waking up for her 8:30 a.m. classes turned her into a zombie (无生气的人) , and she lost her jobbecause she lacked enthusiasm.Maggie isn‘t lazy. She suffers from delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS,睡眠相位后移症候群)—a disorder that affects one in 750 adults that causes them to be somewhat nocturnal (夜间活动的). DSPS is often confused with insomnia(失眠),perhaps because sufferers seem tired duringthe day. However, the two disorders are very different. Insomniacs have trouble with the process offalling asleep. 67__________ They just can‘t fall asleep early even if they want to.Essentially, DSPS means a person's internal clock is set differently.68____________ As a result,they're out of sync(同步)with the rest of society. People with DSPS struggle to keep their eyes open during morning meetings because their bodies are convinced it‘s the middle of the night. They seem less efficient and creative at the office, and make more workplace accidents. DSPS also damages their health, causing depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other illnesses due to sleep deprivation.69_________ Fortunately, that‘s not the case. Flex ible work schedules are already verycommon. Traditionally, managers tend to think more people in the office equals more output, but new research shows that people who work flexible hours are more productive and more likely to stay with their company because they are happier and healthier. Thanks to these findings, many European countries have passed laws giving every worker the right to apply for a flexible work arrangement. According to Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University, most U.K. employees will be working half from home in five years.This is great news not just for DSPS sufferers but also for their companies. 70_________ Consequently, they will be able to save a large sum of money.Summary Writing宝山区A good story encourages us to turn the next page and read more. We want to find out what happens next and what the main characters do and what they say to each other. We may feel excited, sad, afraid, angry or really happy. This is because the experience of reading or listening to a story is much more likely to make us ‗feel‘ that we are part of the story, too. Just like in our ‗real‘ lives, we might love or hate different characters in the story. Perhaps we recognize ourselves or others in some of them. Perhaps we have similar problems.Because of this natural sympathy for the characters, our brains process the reading of stories differently from the way we read factual information. Our brains don‘t always recognize the difference between an imagined situa tion and a real one so the characters become ‗alive‘ to us. What they say and do is therefore more meaningful. This is why the words and structures that relate a story‘s events, descriptions and conversations are processed in this deeper way.In fact, cultures all around the world have always used storytelling to pass knowledge from one generation to another. Our ancestors understood very well that this was the best way to make sure our histories and information about how to relate to others and to our world was not only understood, but remembered too.。
